This way, tagging can compliment DMs rather than compete with them (unlike KOF 2003, where tag-attacks cost the same as a standard DM). And the Skill Meter, a separate small bar situated above the standard power meter, used for the aforementioned Shifts and for supercancels, means that using these tag-shifts can work together with DMs, without having to trade-off DMs for tags.

The Maximum Impact games received bigger budgets and better marketing, with a TV commercial in the US for the first game and an anime web-series titled “KOF Another Day” to market the second.
